What is the minimum age to be able to visit a concert?

The artists decide the age limit for events at the Ziggo Dome. The Ziggo Dome does not allow acces to visitors under 16 without a supervisor. If you have not turned 16 years old yet, we recommend you go together with someone aged 18 and older. Visitors under the age of 18 are not allowed access to night events.

We also advise you to use ear plugs during a concert. Ear plug vending machines are located in the toilets in Ziggo Dome. For more information visit the website of I Love My Ears.

It depends per event. For the most regular evening shows and concert, simple pocket cameras, meaning non-professional cameras and cameras without interchangeable lenses, are allowed. However, it is always up to the band itself whether the audience is allowed to take pictures during an event. It is also possible that the organiser decides on the night of the event itself to disallow cameras. Our staff will inform you about this at the entrance and will sometimes let you give the camera for safekeeping at the security where you can pick it up again after the event. However, this is not always possible. Check the website of the organiser of the event in question for the rules about camera use for the event in question.

Halls and acoustics

How is good sound created?

Various elements determine the sound:

the acoustics of the concert auditorium

the sound equipment

the voice of the artist(s)

the sound technicians

The acoustics in the Ziggo Dome has been taken into account from the very start. In order to realize excellent acoustics, special provisions have been made during the building to realize excellent acoustics, from the ceiling to the stands, from chairs to walls.

Ziggo Dome has no influence on the other elements. The sound installation varies in brand and size per concert: it is brought along by the (crew of) the artist or band and used in each tour location. The sound technician, who is responsible for the volume and tuning of the sounds produced by the artist or band, also tour together with the artist or band. For the artist(s) it is important to be able to correctly handle the microphones and other equipment on the stage. If all these elements match, then the sound is good.

What is the sound volume?

The Ziggo Dome measures the sound levels during events and applies the guidelines of the Covenant Prevention Ear Damage Music Sector.

What is the height of the stage in Ziggo Dome?

Ziggo Dome does not work with a fixed stage setting. The stage setting is determined by the artist. Ziggo Dome always advises a stage height of 2 meters (for an event where the audience is on the auditorium floor) to optimize the sight lines, however, the final decision lies with the organiser of the concert or event.

Why are there (no) video screens?

It is possible to hang video screens in the Ziggo Dome. Artists and bands determine the presence or absence of video screens. This choice lies with the artist and management of the artist.

Who determines the sight lines?

The sight lines are determined by the organiser of a concert or event and not by Ziggo Dome. Based on the sight lines, the organiser organizes the ticket sales.
